GOOD TIMES
KIND WORDS
“Spencer was recommended to us by our venue and after just one meeting, we knew why: he’s incredibly talented, genuinely passionate about what he does, and a pleasure to work with. He talked to us about our likes and dislikes, listened to us about the kind of wedding we wanted, and gave us amazing guidance about how to make it happen. My fiancé and I both care about music and wanted what was played at the wedding to reflect our taste; Spencer totally understood where we were coming from and made some great suggestions about how to incorporate what we wanted while still keeping the party going (he’s great at feeling out the crowd and playing just the right song to get people on the dance floor). In addition to handling the reception, he played pre-ceremony guitar and people are still raving about how beautiful it was — it really set the tone for everything that followed. He’s a total pro. 5 stars!”
“Choose Spencer! Spencer was simply fantastic from the planning to the execution! He was extremely professional, punctual and makes the daunting task of planning wedding and reception music really, really easy, and even fun. He played guitar for the wedding and cocktail hour, and then DJ’d for the reception. The guitar playing was absolutely perfect. My only request for the reception was our guests have a good time! Boy did Spencer deliver. He played songs from our request list, but definitely played music appropriate to the age group. He really pays attention and plays music to the crowd on the dance floor, which was awesome. He is respectful of your desires for your wedding and does everything he can to make sure his part of your day is nothing less than perfect. Related to this review is that I planned my wedding and worked with all the vendors. Spencer was consistently the most responsive, and required the least amount of “checking-in”. It was an absolute relief to have him as a part of my wedding day. Without any reservations, I highly recommend Spencer Sutherland.”
